It is also nearing completion on the construction of another factory in Thailand, which is scheduled to start operations in 2023, and is understood to be planning to develop a processing plant in Indonesia.
In 2022, the company had a total output of 2.5 million metric tonnes. Its clients include Midea Group, Whirlpool Corporation and Sharp Global.
The announcement by Yongjin Metal follows a flurry of new manufacturing foreign direct investments in Vietnam unveiled in recent weeks.
